birthday

[alohanakoni]

today is my birthday and i am turning 32. i should feel excited and yet i am so sad today. my parents are going through a divorce and i am in the middle of it. my mom's business is not doing well and i am helping her out financially on a monthly basis due this economy. my job is not going well either. i was supposed to be promoted and was not. this is all due to my manager's reference. i have been working hard to land this new internal position. all he had to do is give a good reference to this chairman and i would have gotten the job. i was highly referred by several executive and VPs, and yet the person that i work the closest with would say something against me. we work well together and i never encountered any problems at all. all projects are great from start to finish. i just found out because the chairman told one of my VP and she told me directly. i am so shocked....why would he say something negative? i am very loyal to the people that i work with and put out my best efforts. i guess people are not always the way they seem and this person has his own agenda. the chairman is still considering me....and i am meeting with his team and staff tomorrow. f$&#! him! i am leaving to a better place.

thanks for letting me vent on this forum.
